The problem i noticed with my static website. Is that the css is not renewing itself once I updated the website code at areas (Adding new pictues, text, colours).
I checked immediately once i updated.
Everything renewed properly except the css.
(The colours didnt change)
Heres my .htaccess for cache
<filesMatch ".(css|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|js|ico)$"> Header set Cache-Control "max-age=2628000, public" </filesMatch>
My objective is for updates to reflect completely once you go on the website or even click the website link on google.
Should I add this as well?
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType image/png "access 1 hour"
ExpiresByType image/gif "access 1 hour"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access 1 hour"
ExpiresByType text/javascript "access 1 hour"
ExpiresByType text/css "access 1 hour"
ExpiresByType text/html "modification 4 hours"
ExpiresDefault "access 2 days"
Please help on what i may be doing wrong or what else that i should add in the .htaccess for this issue.

I currently use a number of different email clients - Bluemail and Gmail on my phone and thunderbird/seamonkey on desktop.
I notice that when i look at my inbox and scan down the list (seems to be the same on all email clients)... I will see all emails recieved. there is generally a circle at the lefthand side that may contain the initials of who sent the email
For example stackoverflow would appear in the cirlce as SO
Other companies such as
Google would be a multi-colored G and twitter would be the bird logo associated with the brand
I would like, when I email my customers, for my logo to show instead of initials. does anyone know how id be best going about this?
: Re: How do websites appear in Google for terms not present in the website's text? I have been doing some searches online to try and figure out where my website ranks and how to improve SEO. I
Google considers links from other sites.
Somewhere somebody (maybe even them) have linked
<a href="https://url">some term not on their site</a>
And google will not find the site when somebody searches for some term not on their site.
Further google got quite good in recognizing synonyms in the search terms and will give you relevant (and irrelevant) hits for the synonymous word.

: REST API vs SEO I was recently (for about half year) creating REST API based web pages for my client. Mostly using: node.js, express.js, react, mongodb, etc., but suddenly client decided
I was recently (for about half year) creating REST API based web pages for my client. Mostly using:
node.js,
express.js,
react,
mongodb,
etc.,
but suddenly client decided that he don't want REST API based websites any more because all of them are not so much optimized for web search engines and he cannot find them as easily as the old "traditionally created" websites. Previously I was using Zend Framework or Word-press.
RESTFul apps are so much popular nowadays that I think I must do something wrong.
The architecture of my applications looks like this:
User loads the web app in the browser.
User requests to open list of items - let's say for example list of books.
The front end loads the data using REST API (taking the JSON) and displays the data in container.
User clicks on the item/book.
Front end takes the JSON data from REST API and displays it in container.
So the front end and the REST API back end are completely separate things living their own life. Is that correct approach?
I noticed that the application, for example created in ReactJS has almost nothing in the source in web browser, all the code generation is embeded in js script. Can that have an impact on the SEO? Below example code.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">
<meta name="theme-color" content="#000000">
<!--

homescreen on Android. See developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/engage-and-retain/web-app-manifest/ -->
<link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.json">

<!--

<script type="text/javascript" src="/static/js/bundle.js"></script></body>

Is there any way to make REST API based webs better for SEO? Or eventually are there any good practices which I should follow to make rest apps SEO friendly?

: How to make a large icon appear in Firefox's new tab Top Sites? In the latest stable release of Firefox (version 57), dubbed Quantum, the user controlled Top Sites feature on new tabs changed.
In the latest stable release of Firefox (version 57), dubbed Quantum, the user controlled Top Sites feature on new tabs changed. Previously, only a crude thumbnail of a partial screenshot appeared regardless of website and could not be controlled. Now some websites appear with a large icon while others only show as the aforementioned thumbnail and their favicon overlaid in the corner. Example sites that get the large icon treatment: Amazon, TechCrunch, Slack, and GitHub. Example sites that get the thumbnail with favicon treatment: Slashdot, Steam, Kongregate, Gizmodo.
As far as I can tell, there isn't any particular rhyme or reason to this. I also haven't found any documentation anywhere on the Top Sites feature.
After digging into the Firefox source code for a while, I found browserextensionsactivity-streamlibTopSitesFeed.jsm, which has this section of code:
/**
* Get an image for the link preferring tippy top, rich favicon, screenshots.
*/
async _fetchIcon(link) {
// Check for tippy top icon and rich icon.
this._tippyTopProvider.processSite(link);
let hasTippyTop = !!link.tippyTopIcon;
let hasRichIcon = link.favicon && link.faviconSize >= MIN_FAVICON_SIZE;
if (!hasTippyTop && !hasRichIcon) {
this._requestRichIcon(link.url);
}
// Request a screenshot if needed.
if (!hasTippyTop && !hasRichIcon && !link.screenshot) {
const {url} = link;
await Screenshots.maybeCacheScreenshot(link, url, "screenshot",
screenshot => this.store.dispatch(ac.BroadcastToContent({
data: {screenshot, url},
type: at.SCREENSHOT_UPDATED
})));
}
}
Earlier, MIN_FAVICON_SIZE is defined as 96, which I assume is in pixels.
Looking at TippyTop, I see some preferential treatment being made for Amazon, Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, and some other websites (visit resource://activity-stream/data/content/tippytop/ inside Firefox for the relevant JSON file + images), which I guess means Firefox includes special icons with the final binaries for very specific websites, but not all of the sites I mentioned.
TechCrunch, for example, isn't in the TippyTop list and only has a 16x16 favicon. However, Firefox shows an icon instead of a screenshot. There are Apple touch icons on the TechCrunch website that exceed 96 pixels. So maybe one of those is being used instead. I generally think of favicons being separate entities from the Apple-specific touch icon meta tags. This means that webmasters can probably override the screenshot taking mechanism (somehow) and just show a nice icon in the Top Sites list. So the question still remains as to how to make that happen? The favicon logic at this point is still somewhat of a mystery.
: Re: In WordPress how do you redirect all posts to main URL in an SEO friendly way? I'm working on a affiliate site that has a bunch of products on it. User clicks the product, and goes to the
I think it is quite necessary to have individual pages for each product to have a successful e commerce site or an online store. If you will have product pages, then they can be a result in search engines which is a plus point for having individual pages.
When a user click on a product link, then they expect to be taken straight to that page, rather than being dumped on page having so many products to get confused.

I forwarded a Bluehost subdomain to my home server's IP address. When I enter the subdomain in my browser's address bar, it redirects fine, but it shows the numerical IP address and not the subdomain name.

: After removing all URLs and resubmitting to google search engine. Iv'e not been indexed! I'm fairly new to websites, earlier this year I started with a static website just submitting .html files
I'm fairly new to websites, earlier this year I started with a static website just submitting .html files to learn seo well. Eventually, I decided to get into wordpress and start fresh with the same domain.
I removed all my URLs from google search console but forgot to change the robots.txt and the sitemap. So basically the google crawler kept checking for URLs that doesn't exist. This went along for about 2 or 3 weeks till the wordpress site was ready and I found out about it and saw many 404 errors. I marked all as fixed and
-----I changed the robots.txt to this.-----
User-agent: *
Disallow:

I thought it could be the .htaccess but when I took a look at it. It was populated already by W3 Cache plugin. So it can't be that.
Just to note the new sitemap is reading properly as well as the robots.txt on Google console.
There hasn't been any virus attacks plus the domain is mine from the beginning.
This all happened when I removed all URLs and tried to resubmit the fresh website with the same domain. I don't understand why am I not being indexed already? It been about two days.
Could it be that I need to wait a while like at the beginning when I first submitted to Google search? It takes a good few days, if I'm not mistaken or is it something else.

: How do I remove HTTPS results from Google after the domain has been redirected and the SSL certificate taken down? I need to remove HTTPS results from Google search rankings for the domain
I need to remove HTTPS results from Google search rankings for the domain A that has been redirected to another domain B. So domain A does not have any pages on it at the moment and it will not have in the future. Customers still go to Google and type company domain A, Google gives them HTTPS version of it as SSL certificate was installed at some point in the past. When they click on it (HTTPS version), redirection does not work as I can't redirect HTTPS but only HTTP.
So how do I remove or ask Google to remove HTTPS version? My client does not know whether HTTPS site was submitted through webmaster tools before and does not have any Gmail accounts for me to check what has happened in the past.

: Re: DNS A/CNAME for two domains with subdomain - how to setup? Starting over, as I overcomplicated the former description of my problem... I would like some help to set up the DNS for my two
So, you want 9juli.splitpoint.dk content to be shown as 9juli.dk, correct?
1: configure 9juli.dk as alias to 9juli.splitpoint.dk if your DNS allows that, otherwise use the same IP as 9juli.splitpoint.dk
2: change configuration of your webserver serving 9juli.splitpoint.dk, that virtual host (or just host) should understand 9juli.dk as an alias to 9juli.splitpoint.dk
For apache it looks like
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName 9juli.splitpoint.dk
ServerAlias 9juli.dk
.....
The important part is ServerAlias 9juli.dk
3: check links in 9juli.dk: if they are pointing to 9juli.splitpoint.dk then you need to modify the site code to use relative links instead of absolute ones, e.g.:
<a href="/contact">... correct link
<a href="http://9juli.splitpoint.dk/contact">... wrong link

: Thoughts Multi-location Local SEO For Business With Atypical Structure I'm trying to help a friend get his small business ranked higher in local results, and it seems like his business' structure
I'm trying to help a friend get his small business ranked higher in local results, and it seems like his business' structure is somewhat atypical, which brings up questions about how to proceed.
Situation
He has his official business name (we'll call it UmbrellaCorp) that does not have a physical address or phone number, other than the owner's mobile
He has 2 business locations, each with their own names that are different from UmbrellaCorp (we'll call them AlphaCorp & BetaCorp), with their own address and phone number
The website URL is UmbrellaCorp.com (which contains main keyword), and each location has a dedicated page (UmbrellaCorp.com/AlphaCorp & Umbrella.com/BetaCorp)
He also has a branded service (we'll call it MobileCorp), that serves the local area by him coming to his customers, so would be nice for its page to rank for local search as well, but it also doesn't have a physical location or landline other than the owner's mobile
Issues
There are currently some conflicting citations where the same address is listed under UmbrellaCorp and either AlphaCorp or BetaCorp that I plan to correct to remove UmbrellaCorp from (since it has no physical location).
Also, all of the citations just link to UmbrellaCorp.com and I plan to change them to each individual location page (UmbrellaCorp.com/AlphaCorp or UmbrellaCorp.com/BetaCorp).
Questions
My plan is to optimize the individual pages like normal, but what should be done in regards to local optimization of UmbrellaCorp / UmbrellaCorp.com / homepage and UmbrellaCorp.com/MobileCorp, given neither one has a unique physical address?
Would it just be best to optimize for the 2 location pages and funnel visitors to the MobileCorp and home / UmbrellaCorp.com pages from them? Or should I just optimize UmbrellaCorp and MobileCorp for local results in other ways than building citations?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

when i search My Domain in Bing.com it shows result as
SomeTitle - official website (This title is wrong) MyDomain.com (This is correct)

Title which it shows in result is not even mentioned in the entire website it just pulls this title from some other website.

Just worth mentioning is that when i use Yahoo.com to search for same keyword it gets me the exact same wrong title.
